WORLD OF VAMPIRES



Wonderfully atmospheric and gothically charged, World of Vampires is a subterranean world dripping in unbridled evil. As the dreaded vampire, Count Subotai (Guillermo Murray), plays his pipe organ of human bones, summoning an army of the undead, a band of intrepid adventures led by Mauricio Garcés and Silvia Fournier must confront the Count and his terrifying minions.

THE LIVING HEAD



A terrifying, adventure-filled shocker straight from the Aztec ruins of Mexico. A group of archaeologists uncover the tomb of an ancient Aztec Indian warlord Acatl, awakening the dead warrior’s head and sending his undead servant out to take revenge on them. Will the curse of The Living Head be broken or will all those who crossed the ancient path of Acatl perish?

La Cabeza Viviente takes gothic horror, scientific themes, and some fantastic touches straight out of old pulp fiction and creates a virtually avant-garde genre mutant that’s a true cult-film legend.
